Chapter 562: Chapter 562

Since being isolated, Zhou Yiyi no longer craved the dormitory. If she could stay in the classroom, she would never go back to the dorm. Every time she entered the dorm, she would cut it close to lights-out after washing up. This way, she avoided direct awkward contact with them. Naturally, she disliked this feeling, but just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean others will stop doing it. The best method was to adapt to their presence.

Until one evening study session, when Huang Yali suddenly fell to the ground, convulsing and foaming at the mouth, terrifying her classmates. Zhou Yiyi ran over with her arm hanging, took a glove out of her desk, and realized she couldn’t open Huang’s mouth. Luckily, Lin Mu reacted quickly, "What should we do?"

"Put it between her upper and lower teeth to prevent her from biting her tongue. Then turn her head to one side to avoid choking if she vomits. Everyone, please make some space, move the desks and chairs outside a bit so she doesn’t hurt herself in her struggle. It’s okay, hold her down, and she’ll be fine soon."

Under Zhou Yiyi’s reassurance, Huang Yali stopped convulsing after a minute or two and slowly came to.

Zhou Yiyi found some paper and wiped Huang’s mouth without disdain, then had her classmate bring over her water.

"Huang Yali, how are you feeling? Drink some water first, rinse your mouth, and if you feel unwell, we’ll go to the hospital right away."

Huang Yali was dazed for a long while before realizing what had just happened. She looked nervously at everyone and quickly lowered her head.

"Can you sit up? The floor is cold. Zhao Wenzhu, quick, help her sit up and take a moment. If you feel unwell, we’ll go to the hospital."

"No, no, I’m fine, no need for the hospital," with everyone’s support, Huang Yali stood up and slowly sat back down in her seat.

Lin Mu instructed the students to reset the tables. Zhou Yiyi, being meticulous, cleaned up the vomit from the floor with sanitary paper and threw it into the garbage can. As she was about to take the trash out, Huang Yali, from nowhere, grabbed the trash can, her eyes red and voice hoarse.

"Thank you, Zhou Yiyi. Can I take care of the rest?"

"It’s okay, I was just going to the restroom. Are you really okay?"

Huang Yali, blushing, slightly shook her head and then took the trash can, her face in discomfort as she walked out.

Zhou Yiyi, worried about her, hurried out, and as the two left, Lin Mu thought for a moment and said to the students.

"I hope we can stop discussing what just happened here. She didn’t want this, understand?"

The students looked back at Lin Mu, eventually nodding silently. Lin Mu exhaled in relief, looked at Zhou Mo, "Everything okay?"

Zhou Mo also seemed thoughtful, glanced down the hallway, and slowly shook his head, "Should be fine, let’s wait a bit longer."

In the bathroom, Huang Yali leaned against the wall, slowly squatting down, tears rolling uncontrollably down her cheeks.

She was a strong girl, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very beautiful, usually good at singing and dancing, with a great social circle, yet now such an incident had occurred.

She was afraid, afraid of being ostracized and isolated by her classmates. She thought of Zhou Yiyi because Zhou Yiyi had been isolated before. She was really scared that the same thing would happen to her.

Who knows how many possibilities she had thought of in just those few minutes?

Suddenly, Zhou Yiyi’s gentle voice sounded above her, and as she looked up with tear-filled eyes, she saw her concerned gaze.

"Are you feeling unwell? How about I accompany you back to the dorm to rest for a while? It’s a good chance for me to slack off too."

Her voice was so tender, her tone so sincere, and her gaze so honest, but just a few days ago, she had mocked her for juggling two boyfriends and spewed shameless abuses. Huang Yali regretted her actions and started sobbing quietly.

Zhou Yiyi was not good at comforting others, but at that moment, seeing the girl cry so heartbreakingly, she was genuinely worried.

"You didn’t want this to happen, did you? But since it has happened, let’s stay positive and face it openly. Besides, your classmates were just startled, no one said anything, right? You are so beautiful and lively, so many people like you, have you forgotten? Your body is your own, and you need to cherish it. I think you’re not fit to continue the class; shall I accompany you to the dorm?"

"Zhou Yiyi, do you even have a heart? After how I treated you, you’re not angry at all?"

Angry? But am I, an old woman, really going to stoop to quarreling with you young girls? Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn n0velfire.net

If I started holding grudges, would I ever stop?

"Are you coming or not? If not, I’m leaving. My arm is a bit uncomfortable anyway, it would be great to go lie down!"

Turning to leave, the hem of her trousers was suddenly grabbed. Huang Yali looked up at her pitifully, tears staining her face.

"Don’t go. If I get ostracized too, can we keep each other company? I’m afraid of the feeling of having no friends, really afraid."

"Sure, as long as you don’t mind my tainted reputation, I’d love to be friends with you."

Zhou Yiyi shrugged indifferently, Huang Yali’s eyes brightened, and she stood up suddenly. Using too much force, she felt dizzy. At the critical moment, Zhou Yiyi supported her: "Are you okay? That looked scary. Do you have any medicine? Should we call your parents?"

Huang Yali wanted to say she was fine, but her body uncontrollably leaned against Zhou Yiyi. Realizing something was wrong, Zhou Yiyi immediately yelled toward their class: "Zhou Mo, Lin Mu, come quick, Huang Yali has fainted."

Her shout was heard by the entire grade, and ultimately the school doctor, along with the duty teacher, took Huang Yali to the hospital.

After resting for a few days, Huang Yali came to find her with a pretty notebook, very cautiously.

"Zhou Yiyi, let’s get to know each other again. My name is Huang Yali, I’m 15 years old, and would you like to be friends with me?"

Zhou Yiyi accepted with a smile: "I’m honored that you think so highly of me."

Perhaps because of Lin Mu’s warm reminder, the classmates deliberately overlooked the incident. Huang Yali came to school still anxious, but gradually realized that no one really cared, and slowly relaxed. Because of this incident, they became good friends.

Later, Huang Yali asked her, "How did you know first aid?"

"Oh, it’s nothing. In junior high, a classmate of mine fell ill; she was my desk mate. Her mom taught me, and because of that, her mom brought me free breakfast for a month."

Moved, Huang Yali quickly caught on, "So, classmate Zhou Yiyi, is this your way of hinting that I should treat you to a meal?"
